Yan Yuan explained to Qin Yiren and others: "Zhou Gong has implemented benevolent government, carried out well fields, and the people of the country are happy to do business. However, hundreds of years later, the world has changed and the mountains and rivers have changed dramatically. The well fields have long been unable to govern the world. The reforms in the Warring States Period all focus on abolishing the well fields. Li Ju's reforms in Wei State and Shang Jun's reforms in Qin State are all the same."

The Warring States Period was an era of great change. The main content of the reform was to abolish the Zhou Gong's scheme and abolish the well-field system were important ones.

Of course, the abolition of the well-field system is only one part of the reform, including many abolishing of noble privileges and liberating slaves. Although there are promoters of reforms such as Li Ju, Shen Buhe and King Wuling of Zhao, they are not thorough in the reforms, and they are all limited reforms.

They were consistent in abolishing the well-field system, and the well-field system in Shandong was abolished. However, their reforms on aristocratic privileges were extremely limited, which was the reason why the aristocrats in Shandong were rampant and too many privileges.

The reforms that Shang Yang implemented in Qin were very thorough. They not only abolished the well-field system, but also abolished the privileges of the nobles and fully liberated slaves, making Qin "not distinguish between noble and humble, one with one law" and "not distinguish between closeness and alienation, one with one reward". In Qin, there were no more slaves except for the official slaves who committed crimes. If they were slaves, it would be a crime.

It is precisely because Shang Yang's reforms in Qin were very thorough, which is the main reason why Qin was able to dominate the world. However, the reforms in Shandong were not thorough and the noble privileges were not abolished, which led to the fact that Shandong was full of rice and semi-feudal and semi-slavery.

"The abolition of the well fields has long been a consensus in the world, and whether it is Qin or Shandong, it has long been abolished. However, the capital of Luoyang still retains the well fields system and is still using the Zhou Gong to form the law. If the Qin Dynasty wants to govern Luoyang, it must abolish the well fields." Yan Yuan's tone was a little heavy, helpless, and a little sad.

The well-field system was once a symbol of the strength of the Zhou Dynasty. It once greatly promoted the development of productivity and the progress of society. However, as time went by, the well-field system had long been unable to adapt to the needs of the times. All countries were abolishing the well-field fields, and even the small vassal states had abolished the well-field fields. Only the Zhou Dynasty still stubbornly believed that the ancestors could not abolish the law, and was still promoting the well-field system, and was still using the Zhou Dynasty's scheme that Zhou Gong had made hundreds of years ago to control Luoyang.

This is a serious disconnection from the times. In this way, the whole family will not be able to remain weak.

"Mr. I am worthy of being a talented person. To be honest, I will abandon the well fields." Qin Yiren immediately made the decision and said, "The well fields were once popular and the most prosperous. However, today, all the well fields are abolished, and only Luoyang has a well-field existence. The well fields are well-field, and we are well-field in the well-field system, and we have heard of them for a long time, but we have never seen them before. Let's see them now."

"Okay!" Huang Shigong, Wei Liao and Sima Geng agreed in unison.

The Wellfield System is famous and well-known, but not many people have truly seen it. At that time, if you want to see the Wellfield System, it was only possible to go to Luoyang. Even the important officials of the Qin State like Sima Geng had never seen it. Qin Yiren's proposal made them agree from the bottom of their hearts.

Luoyang is the only place where the well-field system is preserved. If you don’t experience the well-field system in Luoyang, you will definitely regret it for your whole life.

Once decided, Qin Yiren ordered Meng Zhao to prepare and lead a team of people to leave Luoyang to see the Jingtian system.

After leaving Luoyang, I soon saw the well fields in the shape of "well" shape, with only a few elderly, weak, sick and disabled people dragging their tired bodies to farm.

Looking around, he didn't see a young and strong person. Qin Yiren sighed and said, "The dignified royal capital has fallen to such a place, which is really a pity!"

"Yes." Yan Yuan emphasized the key point and agreed with this, saying: "I remember when the Zhou Dynasty was strong, there were many Chinese people in Luoyang. When it was the farming season, when I came to the well fields, I looked around and saw busy Chinese people everywhere. Now, the world has changed dramatically and the mountains and rivers have changed drastically. The well fields have become cancers and must be abandoned."

According to the Zhou Li, the surroundings of the royal city were under the jurisdiction of the emperor and were called the royal capital. The people of the royal capital were called the people of the country (in the Warring States Period, the people generally referred to the people of a country). The people mainly lived in the royal city, and only those slaves without status lived in the "field houses" outside the city. Every time the farming time, the people would come from the royal city to the field houses outside the city, and would return to the city to live until the farming time ended.

This is "the Chinese people live in the capital".

In the Warring States Period, the turmoil was surging, and all the countries were reforming, trying to strengthen, and abolishing the Duke of Zhou. Only the Zhou family still stubbornly implemented the Duke of Zhou and still implemented the well-field system. This seriously damaged the enthusiasm of the people. In order to survive and live a good life, the people in Luoyang fled to the country and became popular. As long as they could escape, they fled to the country, and the rest were the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Therefore, Qin Yiren looked around and saw a desolate atmosphere, which made people sigh.

The well field is a tic-tac-shaped field with a water well in the middle. The clearings in the fields are dotted with dilapidated huts, and the weak old, weak, sick and disabled are working. How can it be "desolate"?

"Ji Yan, instead of placing his hope on the fight against Qin, he was not determined to innovate and abolish the well fields." Sima Geng saw it and felt very regretful and scolded King Nan of Zhou.

"The general doesn't know that the Zhou emperor also wanted to abolish the well fields, but it cannot be implemented." Yan Yuan sighed with a look of sighing and said, "When the Zhou emperor first ascended the throne, he was ambitious and wanted to revitalize the Zhou family, imitate the reforms in Shandong, abolish the well fields, abolish privileges and slaves. However, before he could implement them, the ministers strongly opposed it, saying that the law of the ancestors was unchangeable, and Duke Zhou was a saint, and the way of the saints could not be abolished."

Speaking of this, Yan Yuan shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the Emperor Zhou emperor was very tough and did not give in at all, which annoyed a group of ministers, and all opposed it by dismissing their posts. The Emperor Zhou emperor accepted their dismissal, but it caused no cause for trouble. Once the ministers were dismissed, all the affairs were stopped and no one was dealt with, and Luoyang was in chaos. In the end, the Emperor Zhou emperor had to stop the idea of ​​change."

Most of the officials in the Zhou Dynasty were hereditary, and even the Emperor of Zhou could not be easily abolished. King Nan of Zhou wanted to follow the reforms in Shandong and abolish the privileges. This was digging the ancestral tombs of these ministers. How could they not object?

"The Zhou emperors of all dynasties wanted to change, but they were strongly opposed. In the end, the Zhou family became weaker and weaker, and eventually they died." Yan Yuan shook his head with emotion.

"Reform is not that easy. The first priority is not to find a group of great talents who can support their own reforms. Although the Zhou emperor had the will to reform, he could not understand the law, and his failure should be correct!" Qin Yiren saw the key to the problem.

The reason why the Qin State's reform was successful was that Qin Xiaogong recruited Shang Yang and a group of ministers who supported the reform, such as Jing Jian and Che Ying.

Although the Emperor Zhou emperor had the intention to reform the law, he did not gain talent and could not implement the law. The failure was reasonable.

Just as he was talking, Qin Yiren and his party came to the field along the ridge of the field.

Those working people were surprised to see Qin Yiren and his party.

The farmers were surprised when they saw the Qin army's black uniforms, black armor, black flags, and the word "Qin" on the flag. They all surrounded them with hope.

"May I ask, are you high-ranking officials of Qin?" An old farmer shook his snow-white head and stared at Qin Yiren and the others.

"We are officials of Qin. What's wrong with the old man?" Qin Yiren asked with a kind smile on his face without any airs.

"I heard for a long time that the officials of Qin have no airs and will not bully others with their power. The fruit is true, and the fruit is true!" A sound of praise sounded, and these farmers became even more happy.

"I want to ask, will Qin State abandon the well fields?" The old farmer's eyes were full of hope and a look of expectation.

The farmers all stared at Qin Yiren with their eyes wide open, fearing that they would miss a detail.

Moreover, they are very nervous, very expectant and full of hope.

"Old man, why did you ask this?" Qin Yiren did not answer, but asked back.

"You don't know that our ancestors have been bound to the well fields for generations. We have suffered enough and all hope to abandon the well fields." The old farmer replied.

"Old man, your wish will come true, and the Qin Dynasty will definitely abolish the well fields." Qin Yiren smiled on his face.

"Okay! Pick!" The farmers burst into shocking cheers, and everyone was so happy.

Some people even cried with joy and started to cry.

"The harm of the well field is more than this!" Qin Yiren looked at the simple and excited faces and sighed deeply.

The well-field system once greatly promoted the development and progress of society. After hundreds of years, the mountains and rivers have changed dramatically. The well-field system can no longer adapt to the needs of the times and has become a cancer and greatly restricted the progress of society. Looking at these excited faces, you will know how serious the harm of the well-field is.

"Now, if the well field is abandoned, my son can go home and no longer have to escape from the country."

"Your family is pretty good. You fled to Qin. Qin does not distinguish between noble and humble, and can live a good life, regardless of relatives or alienation. However, my family has fled to Korea. Although it is a little better than in Luoyang, it is not much better. He has been looking forward to going home. Now, the Qin Dynasty wants to abolish the well fields. Without the constraints of the well fields, we will live a good life."

After the peasants cheered, they missed their relatives who had fled abroad and hoped that they would return to their homes.

"Friends and fellow villagers, don't worry, the Qin Dynasty not only wants to abolish the well fields, but also the Zhou Gong's law. 'The rituals cannot be given to common people, and punishments cannot be given to doctors' will no longer exist. You will be the people of the Qin Dynasty in the future. There is no difference between high and low in the Qin Dynasty. Some are just whether you work hard or not, and some are just whether you can make contributions." Qin Yiren felt sad when he listened to the farmers' discussions.

The people in Luoyang fled to the country, perhaps the most serious one in the world. There are countless people who fled Luoyang. The elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who left behind are always missing their relatives. Their words are particularly sad.

"Long live the Great Qin!" The farmers burst into shocking cheers, and they all smiled happily.

Qin Yiren bid farewell to these farmers and took them to learn about the situation in Luoyang.

I don’t know if I don’t understand it. Once I understand it, I know how serious the situation in Luoyang is. It can be said that the Chinese people in Luoyang live in dire straits.

Seeing the sun setting westward, Qin Yiren was about to go back. At this moment, a huge manor appeared in front of him.

"This is..." Qin Yiren saw that most of them were dilapidated thatched huts. This was the first time I encountered such a huge manor, and I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"The King's Grandson doesn't know that this is Su Qin's former residence." Yan Yuan explained to Qin Yiren.
